Ed Woodward congratulates Jose Mourinho on his new Manchester United deal

He has signed a one-year extension on his current three-year contract, which had 18 months to run, with the option for a further year.

It is understood there will have been a small increase on his basic wage from his current £250,000 a week to around £275,000 a week but with a much bigger incentive package written into it for success.
